Missouri ICF Builders and dealers
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) are blocks or panels of
concrete, usually reinforced with rebar. They can consist
of cement, polystyrene foam, polyurethane or sometimes
cement bonded wood fiber. One reason ICFs are
considered "Green" is that they often use a mixture of
recycled wood and cement.
They are also very strong and can resist strong winds.
ICFs are very popular in areas that are susceptible to
hurricanes, and builders and residents in the midwest have
taken note of the ability of structures built with Insulated
Concrete Forms to withstand Tornado strength winds. In
fact, ICFs have become popular to use in construction of
"tornado safe structures" for people who live in these areas.
